Most women have to work now. They don’t have time to be homemakers and bake bread

I am currently 64 years old and have been pretty physically active all my life. A few months ago I rode my bicycle from Cincinnati to Columbus Ohio (118 miles by bicycle) in one day. In 2019 I did a 20 mile round trip hike down to the Phantom Ranch in the bottom of the Grand Canyon in one day and continuously challenge myself with smaller but still challenging conquest. At I never take the elevator and always park as far away from the front entrance as I can. The one thing I have noticed is the ever widening gap of people around my age as far a physical fitness. For most, not all, but most people it all starts with a frame of mind. I am glad now I had a different mindset starting when I was young and have been able to keep it for my entire life.

Most people in other parts of the world don't work out, and yet they're not fat. Meanwhile, seen people here in the US going to the gym on a regular basis, and yet they're still overweight. A former personal trainer told me one day that weight loss is 80% nutrition. Cut out the sugary stuff and all the salty processed junk; limit the carbs like pasta, rice and pizza; eat natural fruits, vegetables and nuts. Oats, quinoa, barley, sorghum, bulgur wheat, sweet potato, name, yuca, malanga and other roots are better carbs. Cut down the meat, cheese and yogurt to a minimum. Fast for about 13-15 hours a day (dinner by 7pm to breakfast by 9-11 am.) Walk at least a mile each day. Drink lots of water. Stop watching lots of TV. Sleep 6-8 hours a day and limit the stressors in your life. And if you can, move to another country, because the food in the US is crap.

It’s only going to get worse I somberly imagine. I was a college athlete (swimmer). I am 49 now and still in really good shape. For me, I think the reason I have been able to stay in shape for so long is really due to two things. I grew up being active and I grew up knowing how great it feels to be in shape. It’s a feeling I won’t allow myself to deviate too far from or not have at all. Unfortunately, there are so many young kids these days who have never experienced how good it feels to be in shape and subsequently exercise isn’t a means to happiness but rather a form of torture! Obviously exercise isn’t going to counter poor eating habits but what exercise does do is provide some structure in your life so u might actually think about what you’re putting in your mouth and hopefully makes u feel better, mentally. I mean who is going to feel very good knowing they just spent four hours playing video games and eating a whole bag of potato chips. I sure wouldn’t, but unfortunately I think that a lot of these kids….this is exactly what makes them feel good because it’s what they know. Its their “high”. Another problem is the whole diet industry and our diets in general. We have so overly complicated things, such that people think they need to be a nutritionist or fitness guru to be of normal weight and that it’s some huge commitment to be thin. This is just not true. I don’t really watch what I eat….I eat whatever I want because food is awesome. What I do know is portion sizes, I do know that if I have snacks in my house I will eat them. A pie, I will eat the whole thing in a day if it’s in front of me. I have no self control so I simply don’t keep snacks or that stuff in my house. I eat three meals a day and stay away from processed foods as much as I can. I don’t drink soda….I only drink soda water or iced tea or coffee. I stretch in the mornings now that I’m older to prevent injuries and try to get 10,000 steps in which honestly I get about half of those just at work because I can’t stand sitting in an office all day. My work pays me to exercise :). On occasion I will lift weights just to maintain some muscle mass. That’s about it! It’s not rocket science but we’ve made it out to be, Honestly, I think if most people just cut out sugary drinks they would be fine or at least a lot better. What’s alarming is not that people are overweight it’s how obese people have let themselves become. It’s literally crippling and I just don’t get it.

That’s Perfect. You Nailed it right there.

A thirty minute jog equals 3 small chocolate biscuits. Americans are fat because of too high calorie consumption. It’s that simple.

I'm Pole, and recently i'm working on a project in Alabama. I see, that young students are very sporty, because there is well developed sport culture on university. So that's very much in plus - I wish we had such culture in my country. But probably just after these people finish their education, they hit additional kilograms. And you can see it just by looking at people. You don't have much of movement, because there is no space for movement besides university and gyms. No pedestrian and bicycle ways on road sides. So that's one point. The other is the diet, which is obvious. To realize some things, it's not enough to say "don't eat donuts". It will be better to compare it. We have donuts in Poland too. Even better! It's very old tradition for us to eat donuts. But when I've bought krispy kreme donuts for the first time, and I've chosen very promising apple with cinnamon one, I was so excited about it, because I love apples with cinnamon... i had to spit it out right after I've tried first one. It's DISGUSTING! Eat it, and you will become diabetic in just few minutes. Apple and cinnamon were only very dimmed background for a taste of pure sugar. And I mean it. Later, after I've realized myself, that it will be hard to maintain my health level in this country, I've decided to try keeping ketogenic diet. I've bought chicken salad. I say "mmm, that must be tasty. Mayo and chicken, and pickles, and mayo". And then I read it just for safety of my very restrictive diet, and then it hit me, that if I eat a portion, then I will eat as much sugar, as if I drink a half can of coke. I said "wow, that must have been a biblical transformation of coke into a chicken salad". How dare you?! So it's to hard for me to keep that much restrictive diet, but I can say, I keep low carb, so it won't be that hard and won't cost me a lot of time, which I don't have to much here. Anyways I am able to keep my weight, even lost some in time of this project. So what are my conclusions? You can keep pretty easily a good tasty diet here, but it will need some more attention, to what you buy - that are rules of the market. By buying sugar, you give a vote, that market demands it more. But to solve the first problem, you have to start working as a society to rebuild the pedestrian spaces in your cities. It will make your traffic more intensive, because of longer traffic lights cycles, but you won't be forced to use a car just to go to a shop 300m away.

@@alabanz That is pretty much it. Actually, diet is about 85% for weight loss/control. Salt, unprocessed salt is actually necessary in the diet and if people can keep carbs below 50g per day, 20g or fewer is ideal. Meath on the other hand is healthy as long as it is a quality fatty meat, yes, even red meat. Chicken is higher in omega 6 and most people need more omega 3 in their diet to balance the ratio. Everyone is a bit different and for me, ketovore works very well. You are right about TVEEEE, never really watch it, dumped cable in 2001 and stream only programming that I find interesting. Sleep as you say is vitally important in both weight loss and muscle growth. I always tell people to keep doing what they do if it is working for them and to have blood work checked on a regular basis.

Excellent info

Eliminate all processed foods and your weight will adjust. More exercise as well.

I’m blessed to be living in Montana where the beautiful outdoor inspires everyone to be active. In my area, it’s very hard to be inactive because everyone always does something. The beautiful mountains here create very unique opportunities for people in this area to be active. You can go skiing, mountain biking, hiking, fishing, and hunting in less than 30 minutes where I’m at. I can’t be luckier!

Awesome fact filled video!

I believe a MAJOR contribution is the American food consumed, SUPER HIGH sugar & carbs + low exercise, is a perfect formula for gaining weight! Also a worrying factor is the large amount of food additives 100% allowed in USA, yet banned in most other countries to protect their people's health

The problem is that obesity has been normalized. The real problem is consuming too many carbohydrates during the course of a day. It is not about the exercise, which IS important, but the diet is 85% and people need to stop eating so often and cut the carbs way, way down to under 50g per day and if one is smart, under 20g per day! American food for the most part is simply toxic. Just read the ingredients on most processed foods that lazy people consume.

If it is possible for you, just start walking. Walking is one of the easiest and best ways to work out. Or take a dance class. Have you ever tried bellydancing? I love bellydancing because it is so woman friendly and very beautiful. The women in the class come in so many different sizes. Also, if you have the room and any available land, create your own garden. If you don't have any land you can grow things in a little pot and place them on a windowsill. Start with some herbs. Herbs can be medicinal and or edible. Herbs are the best way to dress up your food in a healthy way or you can make your own tinctures or your own herbal tea (for example, chamomile). Also, it's just gratifying to see something grow. Do you like to cook or bake? If so, start making your own food and beverages. Also, if you don't want to cook everyday, then just make a lot, then freeze the rest so you can just heat up what you need. Also, use KZread as your tool. If you get bored of the food you eat, just start watching videos of people from other countries and and use that as your recipe inspiration. Here are some people I like to watch on KZread that inspire me all the time. Have you heard of Joshua Weissman? He's actually American, but when he was younger he used to be overweight, then he just took control of his health and weight and started cooking and learning everything about food for himself as a teen. When he was 18 he published a cookbook that documented his journey. Check out his KZread channel: kzread.info. If you have ever been curious about Turkish cuisine check out Refika's Kitchen: kzread.info. If you want to learn about Chinese cooking check out Omnivore's Cookbook: kzread.info. If you are curious about Japanese cooking, etc. check out No Recipes: kzread.info/dron/QNUQ7x-aEPY5jmIq1RllEg.html. If you want to learn a little bit about gardening and healthy food check out Growing Your Greens: kzread.info. I hope this helps, sometimes people just need a little inspiration. Just take baby steps in the beginning.

its simple. portion sizes are way way way too big. too much salt and sugar in their food (more then twice as much as what we have in europe). food itself is of horrible quality (worst food quality in the western world). everything is just bad all around. FDA doesnt care about quality of food and america is a business instead of a country. so how fatter people are how more people have to go to the hospital to get it fixed. so the Insurance companies and hospitals will earn more money. On top of that all the medicines that they have to take like Diabetes medicines. everything adds op. And dont forget the amount of fast food restaurants america have.

Also, nothing is stopping men from stepping up to the domestic plate. If both partners are going out to earn money, they should be sharing the housework and cooking. Everyone should learn to shop intelligently and cook from scratch, and that includes kids.

So many kids and young people are very overweight and some even obese. Yet, I see the snacks some have as a teacher and they are so unhealthy, full of chemicals. I work at 2 schools.
